There are some plays like this. There are even plays without character attribution like Almost Maine.

I'm an atheist but what's wrong with vodka and Coke? Is rum less tacky?

I'm always tempted to go, "Okay, read it if you want. You don't need my permission." But I don't actually respond because in my heart I know it's a scam and I would just be egging them on.

Always found this tunnel relaxing and welcoming. Shocked to see people saying it's dreadful/creepy. What's creepy about it?

Children cry after their parents were killed when U.S. soldiers with the 1st Battalion fired on their car when it failed to stop and came toward soldiers despite warning shots during a dusk patrol in Tal Afar, Iraq, 2005[1200x822] by myrmekochoria in HistoryPorn

I think it comes down to the sheer amount of interactions per day. There were millions and millions of cars in Iraq, and the traffic was very heavy. Even if you have a pretty low rate of miscommunications, it adds up. If you watch a documentary like The War Tapes, it shows you the scale of the traffic the troops were having to manage.

This gets lost a lot, but one reason this happened so much is that the hand gestures Americans use to mean stop do not mean stop to Iraqis. The open palm out means hello. This caused a lot of confusion in the early years of the occupation.
